music

The 2-year-old sings lullabyes all day long.  The 4-year-old plays "Twinkle Twinkle" on the piano repeatedly.  The phrase "no humming at the table!" is repeated so often at meal-time that we should have it recorded.  seriously.  Our house is filled with music, and nothing triggers memories for me more quickly than the songs that I listened to during that time period.  If I had to pick 10 songs that me think of "now", it would be these:



1. "Restless" by Alison Krauss and Union Station is not a new song, but it is played at least 3 times a day right now on my computer.


2. Really, my top 10 for right should be all Adele. I have one CD in the car on repeat and the other in J's room. I settled for one song from each CD. "Someone Like You" is an excellent song to sing at the top of your lungs in the car. Ask Sylvie!


3. "Hometown Glory" is from the Adele song in the nursery right now. I absolutely love the piano in this one.


4. "Possibility" is a song that I stumbled on, and I have loved everything about it from the first time I heard it. When I realized it was from the Twilight movies, I decided I must eventually watch the movies, if for nothing else, then to find out what other music is used.


5. "Home" is my daughters' favorite song on my computer right now, and it gets played often.


6. "Sweet Serendipity" is awesome because of the lyrics, the catchy tune, and the memories of watching American Idol with my daughter :)


7. I love Bob Dylan, I love "Forever Young", and I love the TV show "Parenthood", which uses that song for their theme song. Thumbs up all around.


8. "Sweet Disposition" was recommended by a friend, and I love it. It is from the movie "500 Days of Summer", which I have never seen, but the soundtrack is great.


9. How do you pick just one Regina Spektor song? I don't know, but "Us" has been a top played song for me since forever (or at least 3 years or so).


10. "Dynamite" is the official theme song of "little girl dance party," which takes place weekly in our kitchen. Fun times...
